What is the fuel tank capacity of the Jetta in liters?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Jetta is 51L. The vehicle features a turbocharged intake system, a manual-automatic transmission, front-wheel drive, a front MacPherson independent suspension, and a rear multi-link independent suspension. Among vehicles in the same class, the Tiggo 8 has a fuel tank capacity of 51L, the Roewe RX5 has a capacity of 55L, and the Beijing Hyundai has a capacity of 58L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety level, with additional space from the safety level to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E and F. When the needle is near E, it indicates low fuel, and when it is close to F, it indicates sufficient fuel.
I've been driving my Jetta for over three years now. With a fuel tank capacity of around 55 liters, a full tank typically gets me 650 to 700 kilometers, depending on road conditions and driving habits. For my daily commute, the tank size is just right for weekly refueling, which is quite convenient. On long highway trips, the fuel consumption drops below 5.5L/100km, extending the range even further. A small detail to note is to regularly check the fuel cap's seal to prevent water ingress or fuel evaporation. The car weighs about 1.3 tons, and the fuel tank design doesn't hinder its performance, making it both fuel-efficient and practical. Overall, this capacity is considered above average for its class—neither excessive nor stingy, offering economical driving. Always choose reputable gas stations to avoid fuel quality issues affecting the engine.
